Does a second black hole lurk near the centre of the Milky Way?
... Another idea is that that they are formed from mergers of many intermediate mass black holes. Many candidates for intermediate black holes have been proposed on the basis of their ultraluminous nature and lowtemperature blackbody spectral components...

Markarian 231 quasar built around two twirling black holes
..., located 600 million light years away from Earth, suggests that a quasar in it is actually the product of two black holes, of vast difference in size, that perform a peculiar gravitational twirl around each other. Based on Hubble data, which...
